the dot. The string of letters either made up a real word, or what was referred to as a “nonsense” word, and they flashed on the screen for a split second.

The space bar was used to change the screen to the…

in we’d stamp out that dangerous nonsense?” Those words buzzed in my brain as I slammed the door to my cupboard shut. Why wouldn’t Uncle Vernon let me see my letter? What was so bad about it? My anger was growing inside of me like a raging fire, and my confusion was only helping it grow. I knew that thinking about my letter would only feed the fires of frustration, but I couldn’t help myself. There was so much that I didn’t understand. What dangerous nonsense?
